VSU Ambassadors seek community support

The Valdosta State University Ambassadors will host ?Fundraiser
for Lisa? a yard and craft sale on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 8 a.m.
to 2 p.m., at the Alumni House on Patterson Street, to raise money
for Lisa Keaton, a VSU employee who has been diagnosed with a rare
form of leukemia.

According to Sharon Butcher, manager of Campus Mail Services,
Keaton's medical expenses are mounting daily and the yard and craft
sale will provide an opportunity for the VSU community to help one
of its own.

?There are extreme expenses involved with Lisa's treatment,?
Butcher said. ?Some procedures and medications are only partially
covered by insurance, if they are covered at all.?

The Ambassadors are soliciting community support in the form of
donations for the yard and craft sale, and those wishing to
contribute are asked to bring any items appropriate for a yard sale
and hand-made items are also being accepted. A T-shirt sale and a
quilt raffle will also be a part of the event.

Butcher said that donations are being accepted in advance and
volunteers are needed to help with the event.
